400,000 Chanukah Donuts for the IDF

Over 400,000 donuts for Chanukah have been purchased for IDF soldiers for the upcoming chag, which begins tonight, with 80 percent of them being of the jelly variety, while 20 percent being of the chocolate sort.

The Ministry of Defense will provide the suganiyot to tens of thousands of soldiers over the eight days of Chanukah.

The 80%-to-20% jelly-to-chocolate ratio is based upon soldiers’ preferences,

Gil Sandler, head of the food department at the Defense Ministry, said, “We want all our soldiers to experience and feel the holiday atmosphere, to have a sweet and fun Chanukah. The psyche of the soldiers is very important to us, and we therefore…provide a fresh supply of donuts daily [during Chanukah], with maximum freshness for every soldier to enjoy. ”
